This In the form of invention represented n F shield is preferably formed from a rectangular ure 7, the bottom wall a of the shield is not sevsheet of thin metal bent to form the three sides d to term a separate section, such as d designated a, a and a". The shield thus formed but rather is perforated, as at 01 and the ends of 35 is open ended and has one side open. In the ar- W 0 the guard eXteIld through these p f rangement represented i th views, t t rations and are bent to lie against the bottom of mediate section, a, serves as the bottom of the the shield as clearly shown in Figure shield and upon it rests, and is secured, the cake In Figure the guard for helding n p siti n I 40 of poison material B. This is covered by a guard the body B of poison material, t ad of being 40 Cpreferably formed of woven wire fabric of coarse a s p a Tack piece as p s ted in he mesh, t t d of h h are t d t th i views already described, consists of the partialintersections.

This guard is formed of woven .wire 55 fabric, such as used to form the guards C already described, but is bent to constitute a sort of cage within which is placed the body of poisonous material B. Certain of the cross wires of the material of the guard G pass through holes I formed respectively in the top and bottom plates F of the shield and are bent-over, as represented at q, to

secure the several parts of the protector in place as represented in the drawing.

A poison holder and protector such as shown in Figures 9 and 10 is open for the entrance of insects on all sides, but the material is covered,

both top and bottom, by the shield plates F, which project sufficiently beyond the material B to protect it from access by persons and animals against which such protection is sought." The plates may be of any desired shape, as square or circular. I g M It will be observed that the walls of the shield there'spaced apart leaving feeding spaces for the insects which thus have access to end faces of the body as well as to the larger exposed flat,

face, which, when the guard is setas represented in Figs. 1, and may be spoken of as the top face of the material.

The materialwhich I use for poison is a com- *pound that is inherently very adhesive when warm and I can avail myself of'this characteristic of the material to assist in securing it in place upon the shield by causing the material to adhere directly to'such face of the shield as may be selected as its support or resting place.

Having described my invention, what I claim is: 1. In an insect exterminator, a shield formed of sheet metal having opposite walls spaced apart,

extendrbeyond-thebody of material and are t.

a body of poison located between such walls.v which extend beyond such body leaving the edge faces thereof exposed and forming open spaces for the insects where they have access to the edge faces of poison, a guard of woven wire fabric protecting and holding in position the body of poison,

portions of the guard and of the shield inter-engaging to unite these parts.

2. An insect exterminator comprising a shield formed of a single sheet of sheet metalfshaped to ,have opposite walls which are spaced apart, a

body of poison located between said walls of the shield, which latter extend beyond the edge faces of the body of-poison leaving such faces exposed for the insects and a guard of woven wire fabric extending over the body to hold it in place within the shield, portions of the wire guard extending beyond the body of poison and inter-engaging with portions of the shield whereby these two are fastened togethen.

claim I wherein the shield. is. formed of a pair of 7 plates constituting top and bottom walls and the body of material being located at the central portion of the walls of the. shield and between the same and the guard extending around the body of poison and united with the walls of the shield.
